    Was hesitant to buy because it was so expensive, but boy was out worth the price. I've used kinda of art supplies in here and they work great! Alcohol markers do bleed a bit, water color does wrinkle slightly, and I'm not sure how to use chalk pastels, but overall it's very versatile! I'm planning on buying it again, especially since my metal calligraphy pen doesn't tear the pages. Photos are examples of various mediums used, including colored pencil, pen, water color, chalk pastel , alcohol marker and acrylic paint :)

      This is a high-quality journal which I purchased to use in a sketching art class. This is the exact one that the teacher recommended that we all use. The large page sizes are really nice to work with and the paper is so creamy and nice. The cover is durable and thick so that you don’t need anything else to lean on, You can use this sketchbook on location when out and about and it is strong enough for you to just open up and begin drawing or sketching without a table or desk to lean on.

      Omgggggg I've been trying to find the ultimate, best, and affordable sketchbook on the market and I have finally found it. For moleskin, it ain't that expensive. You get what you pay for which is quality. There are so many pages plus a bookmark string so you can go back and continue where you left off. The pages smell good too, it's like if they sprayed some kind of oil onto them. I love it. There's a pocket on the back too. I usually store extra printer paper or a piece of cardboard so when I'm working with markers, the ink won't bleed through to the other page. I would definitely buy this item again. I have the line journal as well, both are amazing and have lots of space to write/ draw. Wow... just amazing. It came in good packaging as well and wrapped up in plastic. What I liked most about it was the recycable circle compass that is located behind the thick paper that wraps around the notebook. It has instructions on how you can transform it into one. I didn't have one, but now I do hahaha thanks Moleskin. Sooo don't think twice about purchasing this item or not, DO IT!!!!!!

      I've mainly used this sketchbook for actually sketching, so I can't advise how well this one will do with paints. But it is so smooth when using pencils, it feels amazing. The pages are decently durable, but when I used some pens/markers it does bleed a bit through the page.

      I was skeptical of buying this more expensive sketchbook at first because personally I'm a # of pages > quality kind of person. That is until I bought this sketchbook. This has allowed me to test watercolor, inks, and acrylics in it. Although ink is the one that it holds up the best within it. I'm in love with the paper's hot press texture and I eventually got over the cream color of the pages. The price still bothers me with how few pages you get but I'm very much willing to pay more for this sketchbook! In fact I've already finished my current and I've just bought another!

      I recommend this to anyone who's been drawing for awhile and wants to start working more professionally. It'll hold up against pen and ink, graphite, and some water coloring. Personally I like doing watercolor studies on separate paper and taping them into the book so I don't wrinkle the pages.

      literally the best sketchbook out there. the paper can take light washes of watercolour, but not alcohol markers. you can feel the level of quality. it fits anywhere. I don’t buy any other sketchbooks, because the paper of this one is so good, there’s a pocket at the back, and a rubber strap to ensure nothing falls out. absolutely awesome.

      Questo articolo è stato a dir poco molto apprezzato da mia moglie.
      Carta di altissima qualità, molte pagine in cui poter disegnare.
      Si può usare tipo qualsiasi cosa per scrivere o colorare, pennarelli, stilo, carboncino matite pastelli ed altro.
      Perfetto per chi ama disegnare.
      Ha una copertina rigida con elastico, un plus non da poco. maneggevolezza e qualità ottimi.
      Nella valutazione ovviamente dobbiamo far entrare anche il prezzo, nota poco lieve, ma se vuoi qualcosa di livello è giusto anche pagare quel che vale.
      Diciamo che se lo trovate a sconto è 6 stelle.
      Mi sento di dare 5 stelle perché effettivamente e una qualità troppo elevata per far si che il prezzo sia un problema.
      Spero di essere stato d'aiuto con questa recensione.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Bestes Skizzenbuch das ich je hatte! (und ich hab schon fast alles ausprobiert)
      Reviewed in Germany on April 13, 2021
      Color: ZwartSize: 21.59 x 2.1 x 29.85 cmStyle: bookVerified Purchase
      Ich zeichne seit vielen Jahren jeden Monat ein Skizzenbuch voll, somit habe ich schon fast alle Skizzenbücher auf dem Markt ausprobiert und ich kann wirklich mit absoluter Sicherheit sagen, dass dieses Skizzenbuch eines der besten ist die ich je hatte. Die Cover Seiten sind stabil, fühlen sich gut an und lassen sich nicht biegen. Das Buch lässt sich ganz flach öffnen was für mich absolut essentiell für den Zeichenkomfort und für die Zeicheneffizienz ist. Das Papier ist nicht gebleicht hat somit einen leichten gelbstich, was ich persönlich viel angenehmer für die Augen finde. Des Weiteren ist das Papier von sehr hoher Qualität und Marker wie Copic oder Prismacolor sind die einzigen Stofte die auf der anderen Seite durchscheinen. Selbst eine dicke Lage Tinte aus einem Brushpen sieht man auf der Rückseite nicht also absolut fantastisch! Das Papier ist schön glatt mit einer ganz feinen Textur, so dass es sich mit allen Medien gut darauf zeichnen lässt. Bleistift und Tinte verschmieren nicht und Farbe blutet nicht. Außerdem hat es noch eine Tasche hinten in der man lose Zeichnungen oder Notizen verstauen kann. Zusammengehalten wird alles von einem praktischen Gummiband, also braucht man sich keine sorge um verknickte Seiten machen. Bei auftragen von Wasser wellt sich das Papier leicht aber nicht allzu dramatisch so dass man ohne Probleme immer mal wieder mit Aquarell drin malen kann. Für Arbeiten mit viel Wasser würde ich jedoch ein Skizzenbuch mit dickerem Papier empfehlen (ab 190g/m^2)

      Für diesen Preis ist es ein absolutes must have für jeden Künstler.
